We met while Robert was in pilot training at Columbus AFB in Mississippi and Kristina was in school at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. We met on a dating app just before COVID and proceeded to spend quite a bit of time together in quarantine while Robert was a casual lieutenant and Kristina was doing classes remotely. Over a year later we moved in together and moved to Altus, Oklahoma for long eight and a half months that was only supposed to be four to six. When we left Oklahoma we took a week long road trip to Spokane, Washington where we still live today. Spokane came with its own challenges that we faced together and after a few months we started to enjoy what Spokane had to offer and the friends we made. Robert proposed in Shenandoah National Park on November 5th, 2022 while he and Kristina were visiting her family in Virginia. Immediately following, we got food poisoning and were bed ridden for 2 whole days. What a way to spend a visit with family :). We got married at the Spokane County Courthouse on November 23rd, 2022 and while we had some close friends attend, we looked forward to having a bigger wedding with more of our friends and family. We can't wait for you all to join us and hope everyone can have a great time.
